The horn relay is mounted to a single stud. The stud is part of a plate assembly which attaches to the wheel well side of the fender well and is attached via rivets. There were no variations.

Kelly:
The relay is mounted to to inner fender by a threaded stud plate riveted to the fender. The plate is mounted from behind the inner fender with the stud protruding through. A nut and lock washer is used to fasten. Section 12, sheet A5 of the AIM shows this pretty well. Hope this helps.

is this the same stud as the ones used throuhgout the body , say on the footwell section to hold the shield or the ones to route the battery cable through the driveshaft tunnel ?

Yes, it's the same GM #3918535 stud assembly as used for the applications which you described and several other applications, as well. One other that comes to mind is the heater box mounting. This part went through several "iterative" part numbers, the last being GM #10147970. This piece used a metric stud of a size close to the original 1/4". It's discontinued, too, though.

I think that the original part may be available in reproduction.
